Windows 7 starter
My son bought a EEEPC 1001 or something like that.
It has W7 starter as OS. Is this netbook capable of running any of the higher spec W7 Os's without to much of a problem? Without getting back to him I don't know what the ram situation is. Any hints or advice on that? Thanks |

As long as he has at least 1GB it should be able to run 32-bit Windows 7. All he should need is Home Premium. If he can upgrade the RAM to 2GB, that would be better, but it can run on 1GB fine. If it's less than 1GB, I would definitely upgrade straight to 2GB.

With Core 2 Duo, yes. You have wasted processing power.
To upgrade Starter to HP MS wants us to use Anytime Upgrade which unlocks the extra features in a few minutes: Windows Anytime Upgrade: Windows 7 Starter to Home Premium - Buy and download from Microsoft Store If you have a retail disk, however, you can clean install or there is a workaround to in-place Upgrade between Win7 versions which works quite well without a single complaint to date. |

Atom: not so much  What I would do in this case is save externally a backup image of Starter, then find or borrow a Win7 Home Premium installer to either clean install or do the in-place Upgrade workaround to test it for up to 120 days with activation re-arm. Then if it is worth it, buy HP. If not, roll back using image. |

Windows 7 starter RDT Can I remote desktop from windows 7 starter to any computer with XP or 7, without upgrading to 7 Premium? I am looking to buy a net book that has 7 starter loaded on it, but if it can't remote connect then I need to rethink it. I know most net book's do not have enough RAM to run 7. |
